I have a smoker that I have never used yet. I plan to get something going Sunday to have ready for gametime for the LSU game.

It is a charcoal smoker. I'm fairly skilled with a charcoal pit. That is the only pit I have and I use it often. Whether or not that will have any use when using a charcoal smoker, I do not know.

I'd like to keep it simple for this first go at using the smoker. What would you suggest I do? Any links to threads or recipes will help. I know nothing.

Pork butt. They just recently had a thread. I'm on my phone. Just google "pork smoker tigerdroppings" or something like that. Also tvwbb.com is a good resource regardless if
It's a weber.

I would let some charcoal and wood smoke on there for a few hours Saturday before you use it on the meat.

If you want to do a butt you will need to start it real early. I would give it 1.5-2 hr/lb. Try and have it done well before eating time. Then you can wrap it in foil and a towel and keep it in an ice chest. this will keep it at serving temp. for several hours.

If you want something easier, try chicken thighs. Only take about 2 hours total and are always delicious. When the skin is sweating they are done.
